I don’t think he’s having any nightmares with all the WINNING and being the GOAT. The best part of it is the jealousy and hate from the Max camp makes the winning so much sweeter.

I agree mate . HAM won't get nightmares with BOT on his side .
Great to see HAM loves his puppy

Max is his puppy too. Scraping away at each other to let Ham drive away into the sunset.

If you think HAM is a fake champion, you have lost ALL perspective.

Never forget: 2 pole positions, 9 wins, 9 fastest laps. Has been in at least the 3rd fastest car for 5 seasons. Not a champion. At least not until HAM retires.

You've heard the reasons (over and over) which you skip over but hey I like discussing with you,we don't always agree and it's good that you are one of the more mature posters that at least supports a driver/team, but darn it why him..

Hamilton is two faced he was quoted this week that it is more important to support BLM than winning the Drivers Championship, what Bullshit, so it was crocodile tears was it when he won it

Or in the real world....

“Winning the title this year would mean more than ever before, being that it is such a momentous year in the sense of this pandemic, which we are still fighting – but [also]on a more personal level, the Black Lives Matter [movement]and fighting for injustice and equality,” Hamilton said.

“It is not going to change in our time, our generation but for our kids, it is such an important moment for us, so winning the world title during this time would be even more important.”

“Winning the title would mean more, given that it is such a momentous year in a sense of this pandemic, which we are still very much in and we are still fighting,” said Hamilton, who was wearing a mandatory face mask as he spoke to the media.

“On a personal level, the Black Lives Matter movement and fight against inequality and injustice is so important. It is not going to change in our time for our generation, but for our kids’ kids it is such an important moment for us.

“So, winning a world title during that moment of time will be even more significant than before.”

Hamilton's car skills are indeed great, and the number of championship trophies is the best proof.

When you see all Hamilton's successes and playboy lifestyle its easy to forget that his is a real life rags to riches, against all odds story.
No rich family or formula one father to pave his way to an F1 seat with $$$ and influence.
He grew up in a council house with his mother and siblings after his father split with his mother at age 2.
Fortuitously his father bought him a used Kart at the age of 6 and worked up to 4 jobs at a time to support his race career.

You don't have to like him.....but no real fan of formula 1 can deny that he is the very best of his generation...the masterclass display at Istanbul with such an unlikely win demonstrating perfectly his peerless ability to win even when his car isn't the best for the conditions.

Not after the podium, I am talking about a week ago, I an not saying I don't like him, I have never met him so cannot form an opinion, he is a great driver, but that's another story as you say

I appreciate the kindness and appreciate the fact that you can be reasonable. Except when you compare VERs skill level to HAMs.

When I look at F1, I see one of the ultimate meritocracies. I support HAM because he has come up as the only POC in the room which is something I can relate to. I have been in the same situation for most of my career. When I was in telecommunications I was one of 3 POCs in a company of over 2000 people and that was just 25 years ago. I made it all the way to VP with 1200 or so people working in my part of the company after starting in entry level sales in just 7 years.

I can personally relate to his rise to his position of preeminence in Formula One and all of the crap he went through having to be so much better than everyone else to be seen as equal. I did on the corporate side, as well.

The converse of this is VER whom I see as a spoiled kid. And while he worked hard and has talent, his behavior is atrocious. I have a daughter his age and if my child behaved as he does, there would be a stern talking-to about straightening out her behavior, forthwith.
